Intro

Today I bring you a video about a very special gadget. This is the Wifi Pineapple built in San Francisco (California) by the guys from Hack5. Very elegant machine to evaluate your own penetration tests.

Basically, what the Pineapple does is act as "man-in-the-middle" between wifi users and endpoints. It's able to automatically disconnect users and make them connect to Internet through you.
